Social Media Erupts At 'Old White People' Dancing To Kid Rock At Trump Convention

Good Friday morning … I think Donald Trump is just now wrapping up his RNC speech! Just kidding. Sort of. 

Whew. What a night. My head is still spinning after that festival, and I didn't even make it to the end. I'm 31, and tapped out at 11:30. Just couldn't stay awake any longer. I know, I'm a loser. Whatever. I have a toddler. Sleep is a wild card in this house, and I was already pushing it. No need to tempt fate any further. 

Anyway, that was certainly a spectacle, huh? You had the Hulkster ripping his shirt off. Dana White getting the folks ready to run through a brick wall. Lee Greenwood singing the same song you've heard a trillion times at this point. 

And, of course, Kid Rock. My God. What a song. It was … something. Was it good? I mean, no. It wasn't. Let's just call it spade for spade here. Maybe it's just not my wheelhouse, but it was a tough listen for yours truly. 

But, that doesn't mean it still didn't have the folks in attendance busting out some of the most electric dance moves you've ever seen. Quite the contrary, actually. If you wanna see peak human performance, at any age, check out some of these dance moves from last night. 

Here's the entire 4-minute clip of the song. I'm sorry:

Again, maybe Kid Rock just isn't for me. I'm a Republican. Duh. So don't take this as me crapping on the convention or anything. I was fired up all night – until 11:30, of course. Then it was lights out. 

But come on. That was horrible. Awful. Fair is fair, and that's maybe the worst song I've ever heard. I'd take that national anthem from earlier this week 10 times out of 10. I would've killed for it last night, if I'm being honest. 

But, watching the boomers all dance their asses off to it made it all worth it. They had no idea what hit them, or how to react. They were just living in the moment. Going with the flow. They were there to see Donald J. Trump, and if that meant they had to do a little jiggle and sit through an awful Kid Rock song to get to him, so be it. Beautiful. 

Anyway, all in all, it was one hell of a night. From Melania making a cameo, to Dan Newlin (!!!) getting a shoutout, to Hulk Hogan ripping off his shirt and Kid Rock making everyone rethink their lives, it was well worth the late bedtime. 

Take it away, Twitter:
